Going to school in or near your hometown is a great way to save money. I had also heard great things about Brock\u2019s co-op programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe some of your best experiences so far.<\/strong><br \/>My first lecture at Brock is one experience that still stands out. Right from the outset, that class helped calm all my nerves about university. It was a history course, and the lecture was in a massive hall with more than 200 people who were about the same age as me. The professor was very intelligent and passionate. It was all so foreign and somehow, at the same time, so comforting. Another great experience has been running Brock\u2019s independent student <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> outlet, the Brock Press, over the past year. It\u2019s been such an amazing learning experience, and I am incredibly proud of all the business and journalistic work I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>Before the pandemic, I was a part of the Brock New Democrats and was also involved with some non-partisan groups. If you have the opportunity to be part of a club or go to an event that interests you, you should definitely do it. It\u2019s a great way to meet new people, let off some steam and become more involved in your school\u2019s community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>Brock\u2019s political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> program is relatively small. I think its size was a huge advantage when I wanted to get to know my professors. Though my first-year courses were big, the classes afterward were much smaller and more intimate. It was easy to build relationships with my profs. I always felt comfortable reaching out and asking them questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>Signing up for classes and paying tuition are not difficult to do, but it\u2019s a good idea to learn how to use the systems ahead of time. Reach out with questions if you have them, and make sure you feel confident doing everything. If you leave it all until the last minute, the systems can be intimidating and you might make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is off-campus life like in St. Catharines?<\/strong><br \/>The city is spread out, which can make it difficult to get around without a car, though the local buses aren\u2019t hard to figure out. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants in town, and there is tons to do and see around St. Catharines, which is in the heart of wine country.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>Brock University | St. Catharines, Ont. | Founded 1964<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>If I wrote the school motto:<\/strong> Nothing beats staying at home.
